I came across the works of Sharon Kay Penman during my university studies. Sharon’s deep love for Wales and the Welsh shines from her books and we have all shed tears to overflowing reading her stories, not just of the Welsh Princes, but also of the Kings and Queens of Medieval Britain and France.

Sharon Kay Penman….a rare individual blessed with many special qualities. A brilliant mind, a generous spirit and above all a literary alchemist.
